Frédéric Malle
Carnal Flower
A masterpiece by Dominique Ropion, Carnal Flower is one of the most accomplished tuberoses: an opulent, carnal white flower, aired by a green-minty accord. Sensual and luminous.

What its composition says
- 3 materials in the heart, against 2 on top and 1 in the base: the heart carries the composition.
- Mint: barely 4.1% of the catalogue contains it, which makes it the rarest material in its palette.
- White musk: conversely, one of the most widely used materials in the catalogue — 50% of the analysed perfumes contain it.
- Floral, citrus, musky and aromatic: 4 registers of raw materials share its palette, with floral supplying 3 of 6.
